Threave is a superb castle to visit, from the walk between fields to get to the boat where you see Red Kites, to the crossing itself over to the island where the castle sits. If it's a good day, you can enjoy a picnic as the grounds are grassy and wonderful. The castle itself is spectacular, inside and out. Once back on the mainland, you can visit the Osprey viewing point and see the mother chicken feeding her chicks. Altogether, this will be an excellent trip.
